***DUKE VS LOUISVILLE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

This one is pretty simple, how does this young team respond after it’s first road loss of the season? Louisville should prove a great challenge and has typically played well in Cameron.

Duke enters tonight’s game as a -7.5 favorite and I believe they’ll cover this one and have a big bounce-back performance.

Tonight’s game is slated to tip at 6pm est and will air on HD.

Louisville doesn’t run the spread. They run a traditional post oriented offense. We typically do well in that scenario. How we handle Sutton and McMahon is more important than how we handle Nwora.

Louisville also lacks a PG and loves to turn it over, a la what we saw the last 23 minutes of the game last season.

Also Chris Mack is a joke.

Duke big! Also got a question.. we went out of town for my moms bday and this house doesn’t have ESPN (idiot owners) anyway if I go to the watch espn app and sign in should it work even if I’m in a place where it would be on if we had it? Not sure how it works

Should be fine as long as you have the app, internet, and you are signed in to your TV provider (through the app)

 

[dukiejay]

Duke wins, but doesn’t cover.

 

[bullettoothtony]

I would really like to see us hammer them.

No prediction... I just wanted to say that.

Yeah its on national TV so you are good anywhere you go

8 seems like a lot of points for this game. Duke wins comfortably enough, but no clue if we cover

 

[dukiejay]

Heard the entire 2010 starting five will be in the house today. Obviously we know Jon and Nolan will be there, but apparently Zoubs, Kyle and Lance are in Cameron for the tilt today too.

Duke should win this. Lville's only quality win is against Michigan early on in the year and Michigan has proven to be a bit overrated that originally thought. The only other two ranked teams Lville has played resulted in losses. I don't see them coming to CIS and winning.

 

[Mac9192]

Think we win if Matthew plays well. Believe it will be a tight game.

 

[Showenuff]

Joey Baker the 3 point maker is BACK ! We getting the W today !

I get redirected to login through my cable provider and then it works.

I really hope we win. I’ll say

[OldasdirtDevil]

Louisville and that revenge thing...don't think that's nearly as viable on the road as it would be if they had their home crowd behind them. Still, I think this will be a tight game. If we protect the ball and make free throws we'll be fine.

I think our guys got the message after Clemson. Seeing some of the quotes from Cassius, K and others they realized how weak and soft they played. That can’t be the standard.

Duke wins tonight, let’s go!

 

[AlanInNJ]

Yep. I’m with OAD. Make foul shots and don’t turn the ball over and we win by 8-10.

Duke wins. UNC sucks. And Chris Mac looks like Pinocchio

We have to start having a decent free throw percentage from the line and by that about 70%. Crunch time needs to go up to about 80%. OFC

I have to work today...what's worse is that it's second shift so I'll miss the game. I just don't see this team losing two in a row.

Your posts look pale.....are you feeling ok? You might be coming down with something. You can’t be too careful, there’s been something going around!

Nice!

I’ll be cheering from the friendly confines of a sunset bar in St Lucia if anybody cares!! After many cancellations and hours of airline BS we are here and will catch the game - Go Duke

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

I’ve got a feeling that we will either miss the beginning of our game or it will be moved to one of the other ESPN channels because the Kansas/Texas game was put in a stoppage for a few minutes due some sort of medical issue of a fan behind the scorers table near the Texas bench and it’s a close game right now with about 6 1/2 minutes left in the game so it could end up going to overtime

If they have internet, but lack ESPN, make sure you have their WIFI turned off initially. Otherwise, it will complete a handshake with their ISP. Once connected and signed in, feel free to go back to WIFI.

 

[JCColsCane]

I don't care if it is by 1 or 21, just win baby! Play great "D", hit the FT's, and talk. I believe that's what will happen, and Duke will find a way.

Go Duke!
